A nasty pothole was causing major problems for drivers on a country road near Youngstown, Ohio on Monday.  Apparently, at least eight cars pulled over with tire damage within a short amount of time!

So a local police officer sprang into action.  He couldn’t patch the pothole so he did the next best thing…

He temporarily filled it with a couple of PHONE BOOKS that he saw lying along the side of the road.  He also placed a cone next to the hole and helped a few people change their tires. 

The road has since been patched.
